Week 043 - First Age Friday: Love It Is Hath Here Me Bound
Join The Man of the West as he continues his readings in The Lay of Leithian, this time as Lúthien brings Beren home for a chat — and Thingol has questions.

Week 043 - Word-nerd Wednesday: Gandalf, Formula 1, and Firefly

Customer Reviews
Bite-sized and Very Fun!
These are so informative and so fun to listen to. Every episode is a little nugget of Tolkien goodness, a little treat for every day. If you love all things Tolkien, this is definitely for you.
Great!
Insightful, entertaining, and well produced. Short snippets to bridge the week between the Prancing Pony Podcast. If you love the work of Tolkien this is for you. !
For the love of God please stop rolling every R. It’s pretentious
Valardrd. Noldordrd. Feanordrdr. It is so distracting. I love the prancing pony but I can’t pay attention with every bloody r rolled in the readings.
